Tahoe Opens for Business: Photos and video

A number of resorts opened for business in the Sierra over the weekend. While it’s not top-to-bottom just yet, some places are hoping to open the whole mountain by this upcoming Wednesday — just in time for some Thanksgiving turns.

Here’s what it looked like at Northstar over the weekend, where they received 3” of new snow at mid-mountain on Saturday afternoon and 4” at the summit overnight going into Sunday. Northstar opened 40 acres of terrain on 7 beginner and intermediate trails.
